What the Hell's a Tarrier, should be The Terriers, mon!
Here's Johnny Conroy, primo singer at Disco Records. He's belting out another hit for the company at the recording studio. notice the teenage fans watching there in the back.
This is Mona DeLuce, she's the girlfriend of mobbed-up jukebox operator, Barney Pearl. She wants to sing and make records, but Barney just wants her to shut up about her dreams.
Johnny shows off his dancing chops in the hallway. Looks like he punched himself in the face!
Then, Mona goes to Disco Records and tells the talent scout, Alex, that she wants to make records for the company... Alex is captivated by this exotic lady!
Night clubs are starting to book increasingly popular Calypso bands like The Treniers..
But, things get a little rocky when Barney Pearl decides he wants to get into the recording business. He talks with his new partner, Mack Adams, about changing things around at his studio. And, he wants to change the name to Pearl Records. Barney's accountant gives out his figures on the deal.
In the meantime, Mona and Alex have been making recordings at Mona's flat. They invite Mack to come and listen as they record yet another hit...
Mona belts out a sultry song as Alex holds the mic for her. Mack is totally amazed at the lady's talent and agrees to produce her album for the company.
Then it happens, Mack and Barney have a falling out. Barney tells Mack that he will make sure that NONE of their tunes will ever be played on any of his juke boxes, and storms away!
Mack has been producing Calypso songs for his company, and Barney gets hot under the collar when he reads about the increasing popularity of Calypso.
So, the Calypso gang hold a carnival of music at Bixby Hall for their avid fans.
Barney shows up to cause more trouble. But, the tables are turned when Mack plays a recording of Barney threatening him about his juke boxes. In fact they tell him that they are ready to contact the FCC and the FBI if he doesn't back off! Barney leaves the room with his tail between his legs...
Well then, it's time to celebrate! Instead of 'The End' it says... "DAT'S ALL, MON!"
Here's the album on Coral Records of the tunes from the movie, Eegah!! could tell us what's it's worth since vinyl is in his wheel house! And, Eegah!! will be here on Wednesday with our first post in September. Hopefully we'll all survive until then, here at The Dungeon!!..
